I am a 16-year-old male who accepted a used, reusable mask from a stranger on a train. The mask did not smell like detergent, and I wore it for about 25 minutes. Am I at risk of catching anything from this mask, and should I have accepted it in the first place?

I've been experiencing extremely bad memory, loss of feeling, heavy head, difficulty with smell and taste, and a disconnection from my surroundings over the past few months. I also have difficulty recalling recent events and feel numb to emotions. What could these symptoms indicate, and is it possible that anxiety could be the cause?

I am experiencing vaginal bleeding 12 days before my expected period, along with premenstrual symptoms like slight abdominal cramps and sore breasts. I have a regular menstrual cycle and do not use contraceptives. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I am experiencing intermittent, dull headaches that move around my head, sometimes feeling like sinus pressure or pain in the area where a headband would go, and occasionally causing scalp tenderness. The headaches worsen with stress and anxiety, and I have had a temporary raised temporal artery after a shower. I have normal lab results (CBC, metabolic panel, sed rate, and c-reactive protein) and no other significant symptoms like fatigue or fever. Could these symptoms be related to tension headaches rather than something more serious like temporal arteritis?
